Foliage dam pool 908



Tree

I was trying to grab a pic of the pond this am, and turned around and thought this was a nice example of the different stages of foliage. We are in the early stages when the rock maples turn their bright crimson. The green beech next to it will be turning at the end, long after the maple has dropped its leaves. The beech leaves will be gold and tend to cling to the tree until late winter.


This early stage I think is my favorite-most of the trees still have leaves and the reds and yellows are very intense-like the bright daffodils and red tulips of early spring. The color get more muted as the season wears on.
